I replaced my fan clutch by removing the radiator stack. After installing the new clutch and fan, I could not imagine doing the job without removing the radiator. I have disconnected and reconnected a new hose for the fan clutch without removing the radiator.

It has been a while since I put the high back seats in. I drilled out the rivets to remove the drivers seat base. Installing a new drivers seat base is the way to go.

I have a great radar detector (valentine 1) I can detect them before they know I am on their radar. So there were no citations. the general public generally waved or honked their horns as they or I passed by.

Follow up. I made the trip to Findlay and back. About 10 hours each way. Was well worth the trip. Met up with old friends and meg some new ones as well. The trailer tracks perfectly with the 6.7 diesel running at 80. The gator got a good work out as well. Here it is resting between runs.

Madmedic, unhappy with the results when I test painted one of the damaged fenders I opted to stay green. Although the paint covered the plastic, it would not be permanent. Here I go defying gravity again! Here is the gator at Findlay

Thanks Jacobsk for the info. tha gator appears to be running fine now. Originally, I wanted to go with tan plastic and paint the gator tan but the JD dealer could not supply tan fenders.

I bought a bunch of complete led round Amber side marker lights at a show. Needed the red ones, went to napa with the amber one and they found the truck lite red insert. Swapped out the LEDs and mounted them on the trailer.

That's probably what happened. I took a picture of the vin number with my phone and showed it to the counter fuy the first time. The second time I went back with the original belt

Outstanding!

Trailered the M1Gator to Findlay for the show along with 2 mules. Still working the bugs out since restoration and first appearance at the April show in Sussex. We stopped the local John Deere dealer near the hotel to pick up a drive belt. Gave the guy a picture of the serial number, bought...

Forgot to mention, there were at least 7 miles on site. I hope we can coordinate a family picture today!

This year I committed to ditch Aberdeen and opted for the show in Findlay. Trailered 2 mules and an M1 gator with a dear friend and his armor. The venue was great, the pre show support from the club was excellent, we were welcomed by everyone. Many familiar faces along with new ones. Lots of...

I will be there with a pair of mules and an M1 gator.

Could not figure out how to rotate the picture.

Here is the new truck bed

If the governor is stuck and will not turn at all, carb cleaner followed by a soaking of oil may loosen it up. If you cannot spin it with your fingers, you may need to replace the governor. Make sure you replace the gasket between the governor and the block or you will have an annoying oil...

Regulator? Are you referring to the governor? It is located at the rear of the engine connected to the carburetor by a linkage. If so, start by lubricating the pivot points. If that does not work, remove it from the linkage, remove the 4 screws that hold it to the block. If it is filled...

Any pictures? Please post them

The show was another hit, right out of the park. You guys put on a great show. Can't wait till next year!

Clint, Yes. The gator is a newer acquisition. A local guy had it. I restored it and it made its first appearance at the USMC birthday bash in Philly last November 10. It was in decent shape I put a head gasket,glow plugs, and injectors in the 3 cylinder yanmar diesel engine. The rest...
